Hello all.  It's my first time downloading a book in a very long time.  I had a 
few questions.  I was wondering, could someone who reads braille tell me if I 
did this right.  First, I downloaded the book called The Ultimate Gift and 
placed it into my scanned books folder.  
Then I unpacked the unpack tool and accepted the agreeement.  
3. I saved the file with a brf extension.  
4. I opened the file using Duxbury for Windows which automatically put it into 
grade 2 braille. 
5. Now I know this sounds crazy, but would I just read it in braille with the 
braille display I have?  


The reason I ask is, I would like to take notes on things I find interesting in 
the book and would like to make a file in Word.  I was wondering, could I 
translate the braille file back to grade one braille and then copy it into word 
and read it as an RTF file?  

I wasn't sure how else to write notes down about things I wanted to remember 
about the book.  Also, I'm assuming that if I were to read it in word, I would 
have to use my voice synthesizer, jaws, to read it.  

Sorry, for my ignorance.  Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.  If I 
have confused you, let me know and I could try and explain myself a bit better.
